You want to join a dynamic lab for a fully-funded position as a master or doctoral student? My lab is actively seeking students to lead several new research projects. Our work revolves around the control of energy balance by the central nervous system. Please share!

Retraite du GRSC 2023 ! Excellentes présentations par les étudiants/es! GRSC retreat 2023! So many great presentations by the students!

Here is our recent review work on "ER-mitochondria contact sites in mitochondrial DNA dynamics, maintenance, and distribution" 🙃 authors.elsevier.com/a/1i5r14qcwYcC… (full-version)

Megakaryocytes possess a STING pathway that is transferred to platelets to potentiate activation life-science-alliance.org/content/7/2/e2… Congratulations to the team of Genevieve Pepin and her collaborators Labo Pépin Marie Lordkipanidzé for this exciting work !

Le département de Biologie Médicale de l'UQTR est à la recherche de la perle rare. Nous sommes ouverts sur le domaine de recherche, et cherchons avant tout un collègue avec qui établir des collaborations excitantes et novatrices. N'hésitez pas à partager ! atlas.workland.com/work/32046/pro…

Vous pourrez même travailler avec les incroyables Narbonne Laboratoire, Labo Pépin, Erwan Pernet, Jean-Philippe LG, au sein du Groupe de Recherche en Signalisation Cellulaire et bien d'autres :-)

L'obésité et le cerveau, c'est quoi le lien? Pour ceux que ça intéresse, j'ai participé à l'enregistrement d'un court podcast qui répond un peu à cette question! Pas besoin d'être un spécialiste, le tout vise le grand public, pour stimuler la curiosité :-) lecerveaucestmoi.buzzsprout.com/2004389/139371…

Happy to share second manuscript from PhD priya g. Great collaboration with Urmi Chatterji and @ChatelChaixLab. We show that extracellular matrix signals promote actin-dependent mitochondrial elongation and activity independently of DRP1. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

A second paper for PhD student Priya Gatti from the laboratory of Marc Germain. Good luck with the publication of this very interesting work on mitochondria and actin! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

We're thankful for the CIHR support toward our new research project! Via a Catalyst Grant from CIHR Institute of Gender & Health, we will generate cool data pertaining to metabolic health in menopause, and how we can improve body weight & mood via a novel molecular approach.

Wonderful news for the GRSC! A new CIHR catalyst grant for Dr Alexandre Fisette Alexandre Fisette and a project grant for Dr Marc Germain Marc Germain Congrats!

Félicitations Jean-Philippe LG!

Fantastic scientific retreat for our research group! Special thanks to Dre Catherine Mounier, keynote speaker of our day. Congrats to the winners Ambica Bora Alexandre Fisette , Félix-Antoine Aubé Labo Pépin and Melissande Osouf Erwan Pernet and all the participants.
